Montresor ‘Urban Park’ Appassimento

Veneto | Italy

Grapes are dried before pressing, resulting in fresh cherry and bramble fruit with a rich, complex character.

About the Producer

Produced from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes harvested from hillside vineyards north of Verona. ‘Appassimento’ refers to the process by which the grapes are dried for a few months before being pressed and vinified – this technique is more common in the Veneto than elsewhere in Italy. In this instance the grapes are dried for 30 days before vinification, and the wine spends 6 months in oak. The resulting red is rich with some residual sweetness.

Food Pairing

Great with barbecues, slow-cooked and caramelised meat dishes, or strong-flavoured cheeses.
